In the latest issue of Famitsu, the magazine reported that the Japanese version of Itadaki Street Wii, known as Fortune Street in North America, will feature online play over Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection.

The game features country-wide online battles only, meaning a newcomer to the series will not be able to challenge a veteran player from the Japan, where the series has been available for years. 

Nintendo has announced a holiday release for the game in North America. In Japan, Square Enix will take care of publishing when it releases later this year.

QFT.

I had such high hopes for MP8, and it kind of let me down (still not bad, but it's an early Wii game). I wanted to see a sequel nail the motion-controlled party game.
